Lithium recovery from brines (oilfield brines, geothermal waters, mine tailings) is reported as a sustainable method of lithium production. Mn-based adsorbents offer a high sorption capacity hence are often applied for lithium harvesting. In this study two Mn-based adsorbents were prepared via solid state reactions. The morphology of materials were...

Geologic energy storage has the potential to provide resilience and strategic capabilities to energy grids on Earth and the future planetary human and robotic systems. Terrestrial geologic energy storage can be a viable element of energy transformation, allowing renewable energy baseload. In space, the use of certain geologic formations, like caves...

The paper describes the possibilities of energy storage in geological structures in Poland. Three types of subsurface storages are considered: salt caverns, exploited gas reservoirs and aquifers. Salt caverns in Poland are already fully operational methane and oil storages. Hydrocarbon reservoirs are found in southern Poland (Carpathians and the Ca...

The paper briefly describes 3D variability of reservoir properties, such as poro-sity and permeability at a micro-scale in reference to the directionality of rock microtexture and the occurrence of a deformation band. The study was conducted on the sample of the coarse-grained Krosno Sandstones with a deformation band after treatment with hydrochlo...

In the Polish part of the Carpathian Foredeep, an intensification of gas exploration and exploitation from Miocene strata took place in the middle of the twentieth century. In spite of a good degree of geological and reservoir recognition, the area of the Carpathian Foredeep is still considered to be prospective for the discovery of new gas reservo...

In recent years, the world, including Europe, has seen a much higher incidence of extreme weather phenomena. The ongoing climatic changes have a direct impact on the condition of surface waters. Groundwater is less affected by anthropogenic pollution than surface water, since groundwater can be used in distribution systems for municipal purposes, f...

According to Szuflicki et al. (Szuflicki, 2017) in the area of the Carpathian Foredeep 103 natural gas reservoirs exist, of which 76 are exploited. Lot of them have been drilled in Miocene sandstones. Although there are new reservoirs with a low depletion rate, in most cases these reservoirs are largely depleted. For many of these reservoirs, the u...

Quantitative changes in groundwater near an industrial waste landfill (pH, chem. O2 demand, chlorides, sulfates, NH3) were assessed in 2002–2017.

Economic development is inextricably linked to the usage of energy. Currently in Po-land the main sources of energy are largely non-renewable. Energy from renewable sources now accounts for a small percentage of the overall resources. Increasing demand for energy makes it necessary to make investments aimed at finding new hydrocarbon reservoirs and...

Identification of hydrocarbon accumulation boundaries within an oil field area is an important factor for making decisions whether or not to drill out and develop the field, or to give up extraction in some parts of the areas. As an example, two gas/con-densate fields in the Devonian strata of the Western Carpathians are presented in this paper. Th...
